Florida has created many videos about technology integration. While not specifically about 1-to-1, they do offer some examples of technology-infused projects, which may provide some interesting ideas. Click here.
NSW (New South Wales) Australia (Sydney area) purchased hundreds of thousands of laptops for their students. I consulted for them in 2010. Click here for their fascinating "laptop wraps" - they used a specific design and template and had teachers describe project used with laptops and their students. This approach - a standard template and specific "look fors" shared across the school/district might be of interest to your school as well.

Web Search Tips (applicable to most search engines)
Phrases. If you're looking for an exact phrase, put it in quotes.
Use Basic Math.Broaden or narrow your search efforts by using add and subtract. For example, you are searching for John Flight, but you get lots of results for airlines. Combine several Web search basics to get your results: "john flight" -airlines. Now your results will come back without airline results.
# Wildcards. You can use "wildcard" characters to broaden the search. The most common wildcard characters include *, #, and ?-- asterisk is the most common. For example, to find sites that discuss reading, don't search for read, search for read*. This will return pages that contain the word "read" as well as pages that contain "reads", "reading", "read books", etc.
# Find the Word. If you get a web page that appears to have nothing to do with your search, (especially a long document) -- click Ctrl-F and then type in the text you are looking for, and the word or phrase is highlighted.
